Dihydroindole and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to novel dihydroindole and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or pharmaceutically acceptable esters thereof. The compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis, vascular diseases, mycoses, gallstones, tumors and/or hyperproliferative disorders, and treatment and/or prophylaxis of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is concerned with novel dihydroindole and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives, their manufacture and their use as medicaments.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (EC 5.4.99.) is required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ergosterol and other sterols. Causal risk factors that directly promote the development of coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis include elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), hypertension, cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus. Other synergistic risk factors include elevated concentrations of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins, small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), and homocysteine. Predisposing risk factors modify the causal or conditional risk factors and thus affect atherogenesis indirectly. The predisposing risk factors are obesity, physical inactivity, family history of premature CVD, and male sex. The strong connection between coronary heart disease (CHD) and high LDL-C levels in plasma, and the therapeutic advantage of lowering elevated LDL-C levels are now well established (Gotto et al., Circulation 81, 1990, 1721-1733; Stein et al., Nutr. Metab. Cardiovasc. Dis. 2, 1992, 113-156; Illingworth, Med. Clin. North. Am. 84, 2000, 23-42). Cholesterol-rich, sometimes unstable, atherosclerotic plaques lead to the occlusion of blood vessels resulting in an ischemia or an infarct. Studies with respect to primary prophylaxis have shown that a lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in plasma reduces the frequency of non-fatal incidences of CHD, while the overall morbidity remains unchanged. The lowering of plasma LDL-C levels in patients with pre-established CHD (secondary intervention) reduces CHD mortality and morbidity; meta-analysis of different studies shows that this decrease is proportional to the reduction of the LDL-C (Ross et al., Arch. Intern. Med. 159, 1999, 1793-1802).

The clinical advantage of cholesterol lowering is greater for patients with pre-established CHD than for asymptomatic persons with hypercholesterolemia. According to current guidelines, cholesterol lowering treatment is recommended for patients who had survived a myocardial infarct or patients suffering from angina pectoris or another atherosclerotic disease, with a target LDL-C level of 100 mg/dl.

Preparations such as bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, nicotinic acid, probucol as well as statins, i.e. HMG-Co-A reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin and atorvastatin, are used for usual standard therapies. The best statins reduce plasma LDL-C effectively by at least 40%, and also plasma triglycerides, a synergistic risk factor, but less effectively. In contrast, fibrates reduce plasma triglycerides effectively, but not LDL-C. Combination of a statin and a fibrate proved to be very efficacious in lowering LDL-C and triglycerides (Ellen and McPherson, J. Cardiol. 81, 1998, 60B-65B), but safety of such a combination remains an issue (Shepherd, Eur. Heart J. 16, 1995, 5-13). A single drug with a mixed profile combining effective lowering of both LDL-C and triglycerides would provide additional clinical benefit to asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.

In humans, statins are well tolerated at standard dosage, but reductions in non-sterol intermediates in the cholesterol synthesis pathway, such as isoprenoids and coenzyme Q, may be associated with adverse clinical events at high doses (Davignon et al., Can. J. Cardiol. 8, 1992, 843-864; Pederson and Tobert, Drug Safety 14, 1996, 11-24).

This has stimulated the search for, and development of compounds that inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, yet act distal to the synthesis of these important, non-sterol intermediates. 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (OSC), a microsomal enzyme, represents a unique target for a cholesterol-lowering drug (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390; Mark et al., J. Lipid Res. 37, 1996, 148-158). OSC is downstream of farnesyl-pyrophosphate, beyond the synthesis of isoprenoids and coenzyme Q. In hamsters, pharmacologically active doses of an OSC inhibitor showed no adverse side-effects, in contrast to a statin which reduced food-intake and body weight, and increased plasma bilirubin, liver weight and liver triglyceride content (Morand et al., J. Lipid Res., 38, 1997, 373-390). The compounds described in European Patent Application No. 636 367, which inhibit OSC and which lower the total cholesterol in plasma, belong to these substances.

OSC inhibition does not trigger the overexpression of HMGR because of an indirect, negative feed-back regulatory mechanism involving the production of 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol (Peffley et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 56, 1998, 439-449; Nelson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1981, 1067-1068; Spencer et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1985, 13391-13394; Panini et al., J. Lipid Res. 27, 1986, 1190-1204; Ness et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 308, 1994, 420-425). This negative feed-back regulatory mechanism is fundamental to the concept of OSC inhibition because (i) it potentiates synergistically the primary inhibitory effect with an indirect down-regulation of HMGR, and (ii) it prevents the massive accumulation of the precursor monooxidosqualene in the liver. In addition, 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol was found to be one of the most potent agonists of the nuclear receptor LXR (Janowski et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 96, 1999, 266-271). Considering that 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol is a by-product of inhibition of OSC it is hypothesized that the OSC inhibitors of the present invention could also indirectly activate LXR-dependent pathways such as (i) cholesterol-7alpha-hydroxylase to increase the consumption of cholesterol via the bile acid route, (ii) expression of ABC proteins with the potential to stimulate reverse cholesterol transport and increase plasma HDL-C levels (Venkateswaran et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275, 2000, 14700-14707; Costet et al., J. Biol. Chem. June 2000, in press; Ordovas, Nutr Rev 58, 2000, 76-79, Schmitz and Kaminsky, Front Biosci 6, 2001, D505-D514), and/or inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption (Mangelsdorf, XIIth International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, Stockholm, June 2000). In addition, possible cross talks between fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism mediated by liver LXR have been hypothesized (Tobin et al., Mol. Endocrinol. 14, 2000, 741-752).

The compounds of formula (I) can be manufactured by the methods given below, by the methods given in the examples or by analogous methods. Appropriate reaction conditions for the individual reaction steps are known to the person skilled in the art. Starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods analogous to the methods given below or in the examples or by methods known in the art, e.g. by methods described in: Richard J. Sundberg Indoles (Best Synthetic Methods), Series Editor A. R. Katritzky, O. Meth-Cohn, C. W. Rees, Academic Press, San Diego 1996, or inHouben-Weyl Methoden der Organischen Chemie, R. P. Kreker, Ed., Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1994, or The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds. A Series of Monographs, Vol. 32, Quinolines. Part 1-3, Weissenberger, E. C. Taylor, G. Jones, Eds, Wiley, London.

Scheme 1

If starting material 1 is a tetrahydroquinoline derivative (m=2), it may be derived from the corresponding quinoline derivative by hydrogenation with PtO₂ in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol. If starting material 1 is an indoline derivative (m=1), it maybe derived from the corresponding indole derivative for example by treatment with NaCNBH₃ in acetic acid or trifluoro acetic acid or by employing other methods known in the art.

Derivative 1 is either N-protected (e.g. (BOC)₂O, CH₂Cl₂) to yield compound 2 or is directly converted to the desired A⁵W-substituted derivative 2 using one of the methods described later for compound 5.

Deprotection of the V-group can be achieved, if 2 is a 5-benzyloxyindoline derivative, by hydrogenation with e.g. Pd/C in solvents like methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate, if 2 is a 5-methoxy-indoline derivative, by treatment for example with lithium-tri-sec-butylborohydride in THF. For V═S, NR¹ or V═O and n>0, deprotection using procedures known in the art (step c) yields the building block 3.

Alkylation of the phenol/thiophenol 3 (V═O, S, n=0) is accomplished in acetone or DMF with K₂CO₃ and a suitable dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene (halogene is here represented by bromine, but can also be chlorine or iodine. It is also possible to use mesylates, tosylates or triflates instead of halogenides) at reflux to yield halogenide 4 (step c). For the preparation of derivatives 4 (V═O, n>0), the alcohol 3 can be treated with α,ω-dihaloalkanes or α,ω-dihaloalkenes under phase transfer conditions e.g. α,ω-dihaloalkanes/dihaloalkenes, NaOH, nBu₄NHSO₄. For V═S, O or NR¹, the derivative 3 may be treated with α,ω-dihaloalkane in the presence of NaH in DMF 0° C. to RT to yield bromide 4. For shorter alkanes (methyl, ethyl), the method of choice is the in situ generation of the haloalkane-triflate (from the corresponding haloalkanol with trifluoromethansulfonic anhydride/2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C.). This haloalkane-triflate may then be reacted with 3 in the presence of a base such as 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in nitromethane at 60° C. to yield bromide 4 [analogously to a procedure of Belostotskii, Anatoly M.; Hassner, Alfred. Synthetic methods. 41. Etherification of hydroxysteroids via triflates. Tetrahedron Lett. (1994), 35(28), 5075].

Compound 4 can be converted to the amine 5 with an excess of the corresponding amine NHA¹A² in a suitable solvent such as DMA, DMF, MeOH at RT or at 50-65° C. or by treatment with NHA¹A², NaH in solvents such as DMF or THF (step d).

Compound 5 can be N-deprotected using TFA in CH₂Cl₂ for BOC-groups or by hydrogenation in methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate with Pd/C for Z-groups.

The resulting amine (not shown in scheme 1) may be treated according to one of the following procedures to yield the appropriate A⁵W-substituted derivative 5 (separation by HPLC was necessary in some cases).

Sulfonamides: Sulfonylation of the amines is done in dioxane or CH₂Cl₂ with Huenig's base and a sulfonyl chloride over night at RT to yield the sulfonamide 5.

Carbamates: The amines may be reacted with A⁵OCOCl/Huenig's base or pyridine in dioxane, THF, DMF or CH₂Cl₂. Alternatively, the chloroformates may be prepared in situ by treatment of A⁵OH with Cl₃COCl in the presence of quinoline followed by reaction with the amines in the presence of Huenig's base.

Thiocarbamates: The amines may be reacted with A⁵OCSCl in dioxane.

Ureas: The amines may be reacted with isocyanate in dioxane at room temperature.

Thioureas: The amines maybe reacted with isothiocyanate in dioxane at room temperature.

Amides: The amines may be reacted with A⁵COOH/EDCI/DMAP (with anhydride formation, and subsequent addition of the starting amine at −10° C. to room temperature) or alternatively with A⁵COOH/EDCI/DMAP or A⁵COOH/Huenig's base/EDCI/HOBT in DMF, dioxane or CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature.

Sulfamides: The amines may be reacted with sulfamoyl chlorides in dioxane in the presence of an excess of triethylamine to yield sulfamide 5. The sulfamoyl chlorides can be prepared from A⁵NH₂ and chlorosulfonic acid in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to room temperature followed by reaction with PCl₅ in toluene at 75° C. Alternatively, the sulfamoyl chlorides can be synthesized in acetonitrile with A⁵NH₂ and sulfuryl chloride at 0° C. to 65° C.

Alternatively, the compound 3 may be converted to the amine 5 by attaching the pre-assembled fragment A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)LV—OMes/halogenide/triflates, which can be synthesised by known methods (shown e.g. in Scheme 2), using alkylating conditions (step f). Compounds 3 (V═O, n>0) can also be mesylated (V═OMes) and then reacted with A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)L—VH (synthesis as described in Scheme 2) in e.g. DMF with NaH as base to yield 5 (with V═O, S, NR¹).

Amine 5 may be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 6 (step e). For N-oxide 6 (V═O) a mixture of hydrogen peroxide urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH₂Cl₂ at RT may be used. For the preparation of the N-oxides 6 (V═S or NR¹) an alternative route has to be employed (step g): Oxidation of the pre-assembled fragment A¹A²NC(A³A⁴)L—OMes/halogenide to the corresponding N-oxide derivative, followed by alkylation of the compound 3 to give compound 6 directly.

If WA⁵ is a protective group, this may be cleaved as described for derivative 5 and the final moieties WA⁵ may be introduced as described above.

Scheme 2

Scheme 2 shows the synthesis of amino-VH sidechain 24 that may be used for the synthesis of compounds with the corresponding V-spacers (V═NR⁴, S, or O). α,ω-dihaloalkane, mesyl-alkanyl-halogenide, α,ω-dihaloalkene, mesyl-alkenyl-halogenide 21 may be treated with a suitable protected amine (HNR¹-PG, PG=protecting group, e.g. BOC) in DMA or a thiol (HS-PG e.g., triphenylmethanethiol) in the presence of NaH in DMA to yield the compound 22(step a). Treatment with the amine A¹A²NH yields the S- or N-protected amine 23 (step b) or in the case of α,ω-haloalkanol or α,ω-haloalkenol 21 directly amino-alcohol 24. N-deprotection with procedures known in the art e.g. TFA in CH₂Cl₂ yields the amine side chain 24 (step c). The deprotection of the thiol moiety in 23 may be achieved with TFA/triisopropylsilane in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to RT to yield the aminothiol 24 (step c). Aminoalkanol 24 can be transformed further to mesylate 25 (step d).

Scheme 3

In Scheme 3, the preparation of compounds of formula 6, in which V represents —CH₂—, —CH═CH— or —C≡C— is outlined. The starting material is derivative 3, which may be converted to the triflate 32a in pyridine with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride at 0° C. to RT (step a). Sonogashira-coupling (step b) of the triflate 32a and a suitable alkynol or alkynechloride in piperidine with Pd(PPh₃)₄/CuI at 45° C. to 80° C. in analogy to a literature procedure yields alcohol 33a or chloride 33b [Stara, Irena G.; Stary, Ivo; Kollarovic, Adrian; Teply, Filip; Saman, David; Fiedler, Pavel. Coupling reactions of halobenzenes with alkynes. The synthesis of phenylacetylenes and symmetrical or unsymmetrical 1,2-diphenylacetylenes. Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. (1999), 64(4), 649-672.].

Alternatively, the alkynes 33a or 33b can be prepared by Sonogashira reaction of the bromo-derivatives 32b with the corresponding alkynols or alkynechlorides.

Mesylation of alcohol 33a with methanesulfonylchloride e.g. in solvents such as pyridine or CH₂Cl₂ with bases like triethylamine or Huenig's base optionally in the presence of DMAP (reaction step c) and subsequent amination (reaction step d) of the resulting mesylate 34 with a suitable amine NHA¹A² in a solvent like DMA, DMF or MeOH at RT or at 50-65° yields the amine 6. Alcohol 33a can also be treated with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid anhydride and Huenig's base at −15° C. in CH₂Cl₂ (in situ generation of the corresponding triflate) followed by treatment with the corresponding amine NHA¹A² at −15° C. to RT. This is especially the method of choice for but-3-yn-1-ol-derivatives 33a. Chloride 33b can be transformed directly or via iodide (Finkelstein reaction) to the amine 6, as described above (step d). Compounds 6 in which V is —CH₂— or —CH═CH— can be obtained by hydrogenation of compound 6 in solvents like MeOH or EtOH with Pt₂O.H₂O or Pd/C (yields the saturated analogue 6) or by selective hydrogenation with other known methods (e.g. Lindlar or DIBAH, REDAL) (yields the double bond analogue 6). Optionally, the hydrogenation described above can be performed at an earlier stage e.g. the alcohol 33a or mesylate 34.

Alternatively, the group A¹A²NC(A³A⁴C)-L-acetylene can be synthesised by known methods and attached to compound 32a or 32b (Sonogashira-coupling), to yield the compounds of the present invention 6 (reaction step f).

Compounds of the formula 5 (n>0) may be synthesised by Swern oxidation of the alcohol 3 (V═O and n>0) to yield the corresponding aldehyde 35 (step g) as an intermediate. The aldehyde 35 may be treated with triphenylphosphine, tetra-bromo-methane and triethylamine in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to RT to yield 2,2-Dibromo-vinyl derivative 36 (step h). Rearrangement with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at −78° C., followed by reaction with formaldehyde (−78° C. to RT) leads to the propargyl alcohol 37a (step i, side chain extension through application of the Corey-Fuchs method), following conditions described in: Marshall, James A.; Bartley, Gary S.; Wallace, Eli M. Total Synthesis of the Pseudopterane (−)-Kallolide B, the Enantiomer of Natural (+)-Kallolide B. J. Org. Chem. (1996), 61(17), 5729-5735; and Baker, Raymond; Boyes, Alastair L.; Swain, Christopher J. Synthesis of talaromycins A, B, C, and E. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 (1990), (5), 1415-21.

For longer side chains, the rearrangement is performed with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at −78° C. as above, followed by addition of a co-solvens such as DMPU and reaction with O-protected 1-bromo-alcohols (e.g. 1-bromo-n-tetrahydro-pyaranyloxyalkane) to yield the O-protected compounds 37b (step i). O-protected compounds 37b can be deprotected to the corresponding alkynol 37a (in MeOH at 50-60° C., in the presence of catalytic amount of pyridinium toluene-4-sulfonate). Alcohol 37a can be reacted with Huenig's base/trifluoromethane sulfonic acid anhydride at −15° C. in CH₂Cl₂ (in situ generation of the corresponding triflate) followed by treatment with Huenig's base and the corresponding amine NHA¹A² at −15° C. to RT to yield amine 6. Alternatively, mesylation of alcohol 37a with methanesulfonylchloride, pyridine and DMAP in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° C. to RT yields mesylate 38. Conversion of the mesylate 38 to the amine 6 can be accomplished with an excess of the corresponding amine NHA¹A² in DMA at RT or as described above (step 1).

Compounds 6 in which V is —CH₂— or —CH═CH— can be obtained by hydrogenation of compound 5 itself or the intermediates 37a, 37b or 38. The hydrogenation may be performed in EtOH or MeOH with Pt₂O.H₂O or Pd/C (yields the saturated analogues 6, 37a, 37b, or 38) or by selective hydrogenation to obtain the double bond by other known methods (e.g. Lindlar or DIBAH, REDAL) and transforming the intermediates afterwards to 6.

Alternatively, for the introduction of the group A¹A²N(A³A⁴C)L in which A³ and/or A⁴ are not H, the following steps have to be performed starting from compound 36 (step m or steps i and l): for L=lower alkanes, the building block A¹A²N(A³A⁴C)L-halogenide/mesylate is synthesised by known methods (or in analogy to the methods described in Scheme 2) and introduced (step m) under the same condition as described above for step i. For L=single bond, the introduction of the group A¹A²N(A³A⁴C) with A³ and/or A⁴ not H, a two step procedure has to be followed: first the rearrangement of 36 with n-BuLi (ca 1.6 M in hexane) in THF at −78° C., followed by reaction with the corresponding aldehyde (A³ or A⁴—COH) or ketone (A³COA⁴, at −78° C. to RT) leads to the A³A⁴ substituted propargyl alcohol 37a (step i) which is e.g. mesylated or transformed to a phosphorester or a chloride (not shown) and reacted with the desired A¹A²-substituted-amine in the presence of Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (for the phosphorester) or Cu(I)Cl/Cu bronze and Huenig's base (for the chloride) to yield the desired A³, A⁴-substituted compound 5 (step l ). (see: Bartlett, Paul A.; McQuaid, Loretta A. Total synthesis of (±)-methyl shikimate and (±)-3-phosphoshikimic acid. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1984), 106(25), 7854-60 and Cooper, Matthew A.; Lucas, Mathew A.; Taylor, Joanne M.; Ward, A. David; Williamson, Natalie M. A convenient method for the aromatic amino-Claisen rearrangement of N-(1,1-disubstituted-allyl)anilines. Synthesis (2001), (4), 621-625.)

Amine 6 may be converted to a salt or to the N-oxide 6 using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide urea adduct and phthalic anhydride in CH₂Cl₂ at RT (step e).

If WA⁵ is a protecting group, this may be cleaved and the final moieties WA⁵ may be introduced as described for derivative 5 in scheme 1.

The following tests were carried out in order to determine the activity of the compounds of formula I and their salts.

Inhibition of Human Liver Microsomal 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol Cyclase (OSC)

Liver microsomes from a healthy volunteer were prepared in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The OSC activity was measured in the same buffer, which also contained 1 mM EDTA and 1 mM dithiothreitol. The microsomes were diluted to 0.8 mg/ml protein in cold phosphate buffer. Dry [¹⁴C]R,S-monooxidosqualene (MOS, 12.8 mCi/mmol) was diluted to 20 nCi/μl with ethanol and mixed with phosphate buffer-1% BSA (bovine serum albumin). A stock solution of 1 mM test substance in DMSO was diluted to the desired concentration with phosphate buffer-1% BSA. 40 μl of microsomes were mixed with 20 μl of the solution of the test substance and the reaction was subsequently started with 20 μl of the [¹⁴C]R,S-MOS solution. The final conditions were: 0.4 mg/ml of microsomal proteins and 30 μl of [¹⁴C]R,S-MOS in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 0.5% albumin, DMSO<0.1% and ethanol<2%, in a total volume of 80 μl.

After 1 hour at 37° C. the reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.6 ml of 10% KOH-methanol, 0.7 ml of water and 0.1 ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) which contained 25 μg of non-radioactive MOS and 25 μg of lanosterol as carriers. After shaking, 1 ml of hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) was added to each test tube, these were again shaken and then centrifuged. The upper phase was transferred into a glass test tube, the lower phase was again extracted with hexane:ether and combined with the first extract. The entire extract was evaporated to dryness with nitrogen, the residue was suspended in 50 μl of hexane:ether and applied to a silica gel plate. Chromatographic separation was effected in hexane:ether (1:1, v/v) as the eluent. The Rf values for the MOS substrate and the lanosterol product were 0.91 and, respectively, 0.54. After drying, radioactive MOS and lanosterol were observed on the silica gel plate. The ratio of MOS to lanosterol was determined from the radioactive bands in order to determine the yield of the reaction and OSC inhibition.

The test was carried out on the one hand with a constant test substance concentration of 100 nM and the percentage OSC inhibition against controls was calculated. The more preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit inhibitions larger than 50%. In addition, the test was carried out with different test substance concentrations and subsequently the IC₅₀ value was calculated, i.e. the concentration required to reduce the conversion of MOS into lanosterol to 50% of the control value. The preferred compounds of the present invention exhibit IC₅₀ values of 1 nM to 10 μM, preferrably of 1-100 nM.

The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for enteral, parenteral or topical administration. They can be administered, for example, perorally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions,

emulsions or suspensions, rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions or infusion solutions, or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils.

The production of the pharmaceutical preparations can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art by bringing the described compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants.

Suitable carrier materials are not only inorganic carrier materials, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for example, lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used as carrier materials for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carrier materials for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, required in the case of soft gelatine capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar and the like. Suitable carrier materials for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol and vegetable oils. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. Suitable carrier materials for topical preparations are glycerides, semi-synthetic and synthetic glycerides, hydrogenated oils, liquid waxes, liquid paraffins, liquid fatty alcohols, sterols, polyethylene glycols and cellulose derivatives.

Usual stabilizers, preservatives, wetting and emulsifying agents, consistency-improving agents, flavour-improving agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, solubilizers, colorants and masking agents and antioxidants come into consideration as pharmaceutical adjuvants.

The dosage of the compounds of formula I can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. For adult patients a daily dosage of about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, especially about 50 mg to about 500 mg, comes into consideration for the prevention and control of topical and systemic infections by pathogenic fungi. For cholesterol lowering and treatment of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes the daily dosage conveniently amounts to between 1 and 1000 mg, preferably 5 to 200 mg, for adult patients. Depending on the dosage it is convenient to administer the daily dosage in several dosage units.

The pharmaceutical preparations conveniently contain about 1-500 mg, preferably 5-200 mg, of a compound of formula I.

The following Examples serve to illustrate the present invention in more detail. They are, however, not intended to limit its scope in any manner.

The resulting mixture was treated dropwise with 34.6 ml (0.41 mol) methylchloroformate within a period of 20 min. After stirring overnight the layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl and dried with MgSO₄. After evaporation of ca. 60% of the solvent, 600 ml of hexane were added, whereby (3-Fluoro-phenyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester precipitated as a colorless solid that was filtered off and dried i.v. (41 g (81%)).

The solid was dissolved in 600 ml acetonitrile and treated subsequently with 50 g (0.28 mmol) N-bromosuccinimide and 2.13 ml (0.024 mol) trifluormethane sulfonic acid. After stirring at room temperature during 12 hours, ca. 50% of the solvent were evaporated, the resulting mixture diluted with 1000 ml EtOAc, and washed subsequently with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ and saturated aqueous NaCl. Drying of the combined organic layers with MgSO₄, evaporation of the solvent, and column chromatography of the residue on silica gel with hexane/EtOAc 8:1 and then 2:1 gave 39 g (64%) (4-Bromo-3-fluoro-phenyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester as a colorless solid. The solid was dissolved in 390 ml acetonitrile, treated subsequently with 39 g (0.172 mol) N-iodosuccinimide and 1.4 ml (0.016 mol) trifluormethanesulfonic acid at 0° C. and left to stirr at room temperature during 10 hours. Cooling the reaction mixture to 0° C. led to precipitation of (4-Bromo-5-fluoro-2-iodo-phenyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester as colorless crystals that were filtered off and dried (26.7 g, 44%). Dilution of the filtrate with 600 ml hexane followed by subsequent washing with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ and 0.5M aqueous NaS₂O₃, drying of the organic layer with MgSO₄, evaporation of the solvent, and recrystallization of the residue in acetonitrile gave an additional 6.3 g (12%) of (4-Bromo-5-fluoro-2-iodo-phenyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester (total: 33 g, 56%), MS: 373 (M, 1Br).
